After reading thru a number of posts I notice that the majority of the people who don't have a "relationship" with the Father (based on His word) still think that they are going to heaven. If you don't have time for Him on earth why would you want to spend eternity in His kingdom. FYI... Did you ever hear of the separating of the sheep from the goats? Eternity is too long to be taken for granted. Ask God to reveal Himself to you today.

You don't have to be a preacher to be with God.
God has better things to do, than show himself to all.
Just doing your best and living a life without harming others is enought for God to know, you have tried your best and are welcome at heavens gate.
Get off your podium!

I would hope that if there is a Heaven then a person who has spent his/her life being good, compassionate, generous, etc, will be welcomed into Heaven regardless of their religion. Most of us are born and raised into a religion (our parents' or community's) and may have little understanding or even contact with other religions so to be penalized for a situation beyond our control seems rather unfair. Imagine a tribesman in the middle of the jungles of Borneo who has lived an exemplary life within the culture, morality and religious practices of his community and has never heard of Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, etc - is he destined for Hell? If so, then I think I'd rather be going where he ends up cause Heaven is going to be a pretty boring place full of narrow-minded, self-righteous bigots.

I have some interesting questions for you! What do you think your going to do in heaven? Revelation 5:10 . How about this one. If Adam had not sinned, would he eventually have gone to Heaven? Surely God gave man the Earth to live on? Psalms 37:11

Ok, so according to your words, those millions that for thousands of years worshiped anything or anyone but the God Christians believe in, are heading to Hell. And the same goes for Buddhists, Islamists and others that really don't feel like believing in anything in particular.
Look, no offence but the more the ones like you try to indoctrinate others, the more people become reticent towards religious issues. Beliefs should be a personal, optional and free option. At the end of the day the reality is that absolutely NO-ONE knows what's going to happen after death, so please, live and let others live.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Even if I was soft-minded enough to belief in a god being then I would rather spend eternity in hell, all the pious, boring zealots in heaven would make it too boring to suffer

I have, multiple, multiple times, day and night, and yes, he has revealed himself to me, of sorts, he has shown me the light. That's it. All I see is a light. I have all of his concepts memorized. I can theorize them, instigate them, become them, I can think of them, see them, feel them, and so yes, I guess it is real enough. Do I know for really really really really sure that he exists? Yes. So that's good. He's great. He's the greatest, God is awesome yo's. God is awesome. Thank you and good night.

Ask god to reveal himself to you today? So you are insinuating God is a flasher?

I have been asking God to reveal himself for years. Why hasn't he poked his nose through the clouds or at least sent me an e-mail? Is he shy? Stubborn? Maybe he's a deaf mute.

Wow, God's just revealed himself to me and I have to say he looks a lot like Des Lynam!

youre right, God is our personal saviour and we should be friends with him here because we are going to need him to show us around his place when we arrive, well if we arrive, i hope so because thats what keeps me going, knowing i will see my loved ones in the hereafter
